This works without problems (SL 4.4 / 2.6.9-42.0.3.ELsmp / x86_64)
  mkdir -p /mnt/initrd
  dd if=/dev/zero of=initrd bs=1k count=1200
  mke2fs -i4096 -m0 -F initrd
  mount initrd /mnt/initrd -t ext2 -o loop
  umount /mnt/initrd
What does not work is
  gzip -cd initrd-2.6.9-42.0.3.ELsmp.img > xx
  mount xx /mnt/initrd -t ext2 -o loop
The error is:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,
       or too many mounted file systems
       (could this be the IDE device where you in fact use
       ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)

What am I doing wrong?
